The London-based startup Nothing recently launched its first Android smartphone in the global market dubbed the Nothing Phone (1).

Nothing has been manufacturing the Phone (1) domestically for the Indian market to keep the costs low. Recently, some of the customers have complained of issues with the display of the smartphone like a green tint on the screen, and a black dot near the punch hole.

Now, as the device reaches more customers, new flaws with Nothing Phone (1)’s rear panel are being brought to light.

Quality issue in NOTHING PHONE 1, the wire tape just above the nothing brand is misplaced its identical and looks weird. Also the flash placement is up side down… not placed in symmetrical way!! I guess more QC issues will be visible soon pic.twitter.com/9glNHKlPj2

According to multiple Twitter users, their Nothing Phone (1) unit has flaws in its design. These flaws range from an alignment issue with the wire tape on the back panel to the LED flash module being placed upside down. 91mobile’s Ronil Thakkar has also reported difficulties with placing replacement requests for the defective model on Flipkart, with Flipkart reporting an error in taking a return/replacement request.

@flipkartsupport @Flipkart @nothing @nothingsupport Got this unit a couple of days ago, and the piece has an design alignment issue at the rear. I’ve tried several time to place a replacement request, but the app won’t let me proceed the request. Please check the attachment: pic.twitter.com/cMrx4waWx8

Thakkar has also shared the response from Flipkart support which states “Thank you for reaching out to us via DM and sharing the requested order ID. We certainly understand your concern here. Please be assured that the team is actively working towards resolving your issue. We’ll be contacting you to address this further.” According to the report, Flipkart is yet to contact them regarding this issue.

So, my @nothing Phone 1 replacement unit arrived yesterday. Looks like I need to return this too. pic.twitter.com/V3WjSZxjes

Even more bizarre is the incident that occurred with Twitter user @therational_pi, who upon receiving a defective unit of the Nothing Phone (1) opted for a replacement. However, the company shipped a damaged Nothing Phone (1) to them as a replacement. From the various complaints, it is clear that Nothing has some serious quality control issues, and it remains to be seen how swiftly the company addresses these issues. Stay tuned for more updates on this matter.

The post Some Nothing Phone (1) units have design flaws, customers unable to place replacement appeared first on Gizmochina.

Nothing has recently launched the Nothing Phone (1), the company’s first-ever Android smartphone. The phone has recently been one of the most talked-about smartphones, but it is undoubtedly not without its own share of problems. Buyers who pre-ordered the device through Flipkart have begun getting them, and some of them have already begun to raise a number of problems with the device. It seems that some Nothing Phone (1) devices are facing a variety of hardware-level issues.

According to a report by 91Mobiles, a green tint problem is, well, “Nothing” new for companies launching devices with AMOLED panels. The Nothing Phone (1) has been added to the list of cellphones that have experienced the same fate in the past. As the name implies, the green tint problem results in the device’s display malfunctioning because the dark portions of the display take on a green tint.

One customer who purchased a Nothing Phone (1) through Flipkart had to return it in the hopes of receiving a unit without issues, however, the replacement handset also had the same problem. These are clear signs of poor qualty control during the manufacturing process.

In addition to the green tint issue, many people have also been having trouble with faulty selfie cameras. Notably, numerous Nothing Phone (1) devices now have a punch-hole selfie camera that appears significantly extended.

It is a little disappointing to see such problems with a brand’s pilot smartphone, even though the Nothing team has already acknowledged the problems, and the impacted buyers will probably receive a replacement unit. The company is yet to publish official instructions on what users should do if their Nothing Phone (1) is facing similar kinds of issues. We can only hope that these problems won’t be present in the upcoming batch of Nothing Phones (1) that come out of the manufacturing.
